It's possible a solder bridge forms between a few pins after re-soldering. You'll need strong magnification to spot it. Eventually, damage from the corner or heat from soldering might destroy an internal connection. This usually means a CPU with single-channel memory now. You might attempt to push that single channel or DIMM to a higher overclock to compensate for the lost performance from dual-channel operation. However, honestly, good-quality 3700X CPUs are often available at a price that doesn't warrant excessive stress.
